Meet Max — the 5-year-old Jack Russell with the energy of a toddler hopped up on espresso and the job dedication of a mall cop.

Max LOVES tennis balls. Like… LOVES-loves. If tennis balls had a fan club, he’d be the president, chairman, and treasurer. He will also proudly collect every single “gumball” (aka mystery yard treasures) he finds outside and present them to you like he’s bringing rare artifacts from an archaeological dig.

Max has a thing for talking to cats. Not chasing — he’s far too polite for that. He just likes to narrate their existence. Think of him as their tiny motivational speaker who occasionally forgets his inside voice. But truly, he’s been respectful of the kitties in his foster home and mostly just likes to sass from a safe distance.

He’s been great with dogs of all sizes and vibes — from chill couch potatoes to the zoomie-enthusiasts. Max loves to patrol the yard like a security guard on his third round of the night. If there’s a leaf, a squirrel, or a suspicious breeze… don’t worry, Max has already filed a full report.

If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick with charm, comedy, and the spirit of a tiny sheriff, Max is your guy.
